Hey fellow Reiter enthusiast-

Just wanted to check in. It's been over 6 months since I bought my Buckbee. It just keeps getting better. I've owned nice banjos over the years and this one really stands out. I highly recommend this banjo! I'm using OME mediums, stock bridge. I put a Vega style wire arm rest on it. I've put some serious hours on this instrument, what a joy to play.
